Disability advocates applaud federal pandemic aid, but say payment should be higher
A one time payment of up to $600 will be sent to those who are eligible, at the end of October

As a disabled person, Murielle Pitre has dealt with extra costs throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
"You have like increased fees, deliveries and deliveries for food, the price of food is going up. I mean you're not going out so you can't seek out the bargains as much as you used to," she said.
Pitre is also the director of communications for the New Brunswick Coalition of People with Disabilities.
She's heard from many people who are paying more for everything from transportation to personal care.
"I believe some had to hire maybe privately. You don't want people who go to 5 houses coming to your house if you have an immune disorder so it hasn't been easy for those people," Pitre said.
On Oct. 30, people with disabilities will receive a onetime payment of up to $600 from the federal government to help with the extra expenses. It was first announced back in June.
Accessible Canada tweeted out this announcement about the payment for people with disabilities. (Accessible Canada/Twitter)
The money is available to people who have an existing valid Disability Tax Credit certificate, those receiving Canada Pension Disability or Quebec Disability Pension benefits or those receiving disability support from Veterans Affairs Canada.
According to the federal government, some seniors may be eligible and parents of children with disabilities will receive a one-time payment. In total about 1.6 million people are eligible.
Pitre said that will help, but she'd like to see more money made available.
Randy Dickinson said it's regrettable it's taken this long for disabled people to receive what he calls "a rather modest one time payment".
Dickinson is the chairperson of the Premier's Council on Disabilities.
"It's frustrating that some of the most vulnerable and most needy Canadians are the last in line and also waiting months to get their support when other emergency payments were released within a matter of weeks after the pandemic started," Dickinson said.
Dickinson said the pandemic has created a number of financial difficulties for people with disabilities.
Randy Dickinson chairs the Premier's Council on Disabilities and says while he's glad the federal government has recognized the need for financial help during the pandemic, it should have been sent out sooner. (Submitted/Randy Dickinson)
"Maybe they've been struggling to pay the rent or pay bills for their hydro or what have you because of the ongoing difficulties of living with a low income, exacerbated by extra expenses that the pandemic has generated for the people who are least able to afford it," he said.
Dickinson said he's glad the federal government recognized the need for financial help, but he wishes the money had been sent out earlier.
He said the government should have considered more than one payment for people with disabilities, over a period of time, especially if the pandemic persists.
Murielle Pitre says people will have to decide how to spend the federal money, whether it's paying existing bills or stocking up on supplies in case COVID-19 cases start to rise again in this region.
"For me, I'm thinking of buying a small freezer so I can have more food available if I can't go out for a while," Pitre said.

One
has to shake their head and the avalanche of groups/causes coming out
claiming they were or are hard done by more than others and need more.
Large swaths of the population have not and likely will not receive any additional $ from the government nor do they necessarily need any.
CERB was supposed to replace up to a % of income people lost when their hours were cut or they lost their job. Leaving the amounts and qualifications aside, it delivered much needed support for those that it was intended to address.
On the other side of the equation, there are those that are on pensions, both public and private, disability pensions, and a myriad of pre existing government social safety nets.
For the most part these folks did not receive meaningful amounts of $ from the government.
Nor should they, both sides of the equation encountered increased costs of living across the board and a myriad of subtle changes that make things more difficult. That in and of itself does not warrant increased funding/subsidies for these groups.

are not as able bodied are to be seen as a burden, not worthy of care or
consideration or love, we are fast approaching a nadir or are already
wrapped within this careless vacuum?
JOhn D Bond
Reply to @Irv Millar:
Irv in no way am I saying they are a burden. Rather I am pointing out
that this article only addresses a small portion of the population. It
ignores the senior/ retired population on pensions that essentially
haven't gotten anything . Why ? Because their incomes were not affected
by the pandemic. For many with disabilities they are in the same boat.
Governments need to stop playing favourites and deal with the bigger
issues across the board.

Reply to @JOhn D Bond:
Not true and I speak as a parent and daughter of disabled family
members. The pandemic meant the loss of many care and therapy programs
and social services that were replaced through out of pocket costs of
the person and their families - and even still the world is less
accessible right now for many people who are disabled. I appreciate
these is an unseen aspect of disabilities, but the costs are real and
without these supports, a disabled person can deteriorate very quickly.
It can shorten a person's life. The weight of these issues cannot be
explained simply here, but you cannot know this stuff well by reading
about it. You have to live it.
JOhn D Bond
Reply to @Cheryl
MacLeod: Cheryl, thanks for the clarification and I certainly empathize
with you on those issues. My point should not be applicable to folks in
your situation. There were pre pandemic services we can call the social
safety net in place providing you with the requisite supports. If these
services have been impacted by the government shut downs or other safety
related aspects, it is on the Government to keep those services up and
running as they were in the past.
My issue, maybe it is just me or the way I am reading the articles is that there has been a hue and cry across the land for groups saying they have been disenfranchised more than others, due to covid-19. In general folks that need assistance should get it, but it should be on the basis of all things being equal. So if a person that was working was either able bodied or disabled, the CERB would have been appropriate as a wage replacement. If either person had additional supports while they were working, they should still get those supports irrespective. But if they didn't have any additional supports and were reliant on their income from employment, that is where I have an issue. Hope that makes sense.

Reply to @JOhn D Bond:
It does make sense, I do understand. But, I don't think that is is
widely the situation for most people considered in the benefit. Much can
be said on this topic, but it is worth noting, that as with most
government offerings, access is not always what it seems. The payout -
$600 is rather small spread over 7 months and in the case of seniors,
they are only receiving $300 or $100 depending on past Covid benefits.
This is really aimed at the working disabled and parents of disabled
children and trust me, their costs are are real.
JOhn D Bond
Reply to @Cheryl
MacLeod: I fully appreciate that and that is required and should have
been done automatically. The tenor of these articles tend to focus on
the " I need more money" issue and do not delineate the why, rather on
appearance it appears to be Need more money because I am disabled or a
senior or..... that is the issue. Everyone is trying to do more with
less and for the vast majority they are all in the same boat. For some
as you clarified it is not a new need, it was a support that was
impacted by the government actions that they need to correct. Personally
giving more $ is not the right approach, they should be finding a way
to make the supports work but in the short term the additional funds
would help defray some of the government imposed increased costs.

Reply to @JOhn D Bond:
I agree with the intent of your comments however, it is a complex
issue. Added pandemic costs are are as diverse as the disability and
distilling such information to a level of common understanding is
impossible in a news article or comment section. Everyone's situation is
unique. Having a disabilitiy reduces one's flexibility and capacity for
discovering new approaches. An aside; this is a group that is forever
jumping through hoops to justify status and needs. You can't know what
it's like until you do, despite everyone's best opinion on what it is to
be disabled.

agree with the article. Individuals living with disabilities have faced
increased costs and are among the most vulnerable members of our
society. They have encountered delivery fees, increased personal care
worker costs, PPE costs, increased transportation costs, higher food and
necessities costs the list goes on... Every other segment of society,
from Seniors to Students, has had government assistance but this
vulnerable pop has had to wait until October 30th

Leod: Curious Theresa what assistance did seniors get that those with
disabilities didn't get? Also to clarify there is a difference when
someone with a disability is working, therefore would have qualified for
CERB and those that are either retired and on a disability pension or
those that receive social assistance due to the disability but are
neither working nor on a pension.

people lucky enough to have kept their six figure job throughout this.
My expenses have gone down because I'm working from home and not
spending money on gas to commute, eating out for lunch and other

not need a government handout. The money should go to those who are most

Normally, people make mistakes, but those mistaken things bought can be returned, however since the pandemic grocery stores do not take returns.

Don't believe it is an attack on these folks. But rather a lack of
clarification on in the article on the issue. Folks with disabilities
that were receiving a variety of supports pre covid-19 should still be
getting the supports. These articles tend not to articulate that, so the
reader has no idea what and why additional funds are needed.
It is not unreasonable for people to question where the government is spending $ but a complete explanation in articles that identify it is to make up for services that were lost or not accessible during covid-19 would have been much more effective.
